      I know SolarWinds has some tools that are popular, but they will spam the heck out of you, so beware.

      Wait a second... what do you mean they will spam the heck out of you? I use Solarwinds Orion, Solar Winds Network Monitor, and Solar Winds Web Help Desk. I rarely receive emails from them

        Then you are the VERY rare exception. I used to get emails daily.

          Are the tools you are using free?

            Yeah, I wasn't using the paid at the time.

              Does anyone here use their own scripts rather than 3rd party tools?

                @Carnival-Boy I dobut it. for the desktops side of things it's fairly easy to script with pstools or WMI to get the data and put in a text file. But the organization of it is the hard part.

                Honestly I think a excel spreadsheet can be more accurate than spiceworks inventory anymore with the newer versions.

                  That's what does it. They don't spam customers.

                    Ok. I used paid versions so that explains the lack of spamming

                      No but seriously considering that.

                        Probably because you already drank the Kool-Aid. It's the *potential *customers they want.

                          For a poor-man's inventory, you can use Open-Audit, it's all web and script based. It's not been updated in years, but it might do what you want.

                          AND it has a Linux package (and appliance download!)
